We have developed our bike fitting protocol over the last eighteen years working with Doctors, Professors, physios, bike fitters, custom frame builders, leading bike brands and all types of cyclists.
We treat all our clients equally no matter what there ability. We do not use a 'Fit System' those systems (Retul, Guru, Trek Precision etc.) all evolved from The Serotta School of Bike Fitting where we originally trained:
A Cyclefit with Jules or Phil (or sometimes both of them) will:
- optimise your riding position
- minimise the risk of injury
- improve efficiency and posture
- improve your pedal stroke
- help you understand more about how you ride your bike
- make your cycling more enjoyable
- give advice and/or install the best components to make your bike fit properly
- help you find a bike that best suits you
"Couldn’t recommend enough, since my fit I’ve been faster and more comfortable on my bike than I thought possible!"

What's involved?
-
Interview
We aim to understand as much as possible about you, your life and your cycling. Knowing your future aspirations and current cycling limitations will help us determine your bike position based on your fitness, aspirations and the type of cycling you do. We will spend time exploring any past or current injury or discomfort history both on and off the bike. This helps us to understand what we may find during the physical evaluation or during the on-bike analysis.
-
Physical evaluation
Body measurements, stability, flexibility and range of motion assessments will help us build a picture of your individual bio-mechanics and physical conditioning prior to riding on the Fit Bike. Particular attention is paid to understanding your feet as a correctly adjusted shoe/pedal interface can improve pedalling dynamics, performance and comfort.
-
Four-camera Dartfish Motion Analysis
Dartfish's sophisticated software records a rider's every movement and can measure leg extension and track key points of movement. Your position and movement is recorded throughout the session to illustrate changes. A very important aspect for the customer is the ability to view their posture and pedalling technique.
-
Fully adjustable Fit Bike for dynamic fitting
The Fit Bike allows us to adjust a rider's position without compromising to a frame's limitations; millimetre accurate adjustments can be made while the rider is pedalling. No on-and-off and stop start. Smooth, fast, accurate, repeatable and recordable adjustments. Handlebar and saddle can be changed to achieve the best set-up. The crank length can also be adjusted easily during the session.
-
Computrainer Pedal stroke analysis
Wired into the Fit Bike is RacerMate's Computrainer. The Computrainer provides the variable resistance and most importantly the Spinscan. The Spinscan shows you and your fitter when and where the power is applied during the pedal stroke and any pedalling asymmetries that may be present.
-
Foot assessment and cleat adjustments
We will measure the size of your feet, forefoot angle and arch height and advise on the correct shoe design. The pedal cleats will be set in the correct position and adjustments made to ensure optimum performance.
-
GebioMized saddle pressure mapping
Pressure Mapping provides objective feedback, enabling us to make small, precise adjustments and interventions to optimise your connection with the bike and making it an all-round more enjoyable ride
-
Post Cyclefit bike set-up
At the end of your Cyclefit our workshop will adjust your bike to reflect your new position and advise and/or fit any new components needed to achieve this.
-
Full Report and Recommendations
After your Cyclefit you will receive a full report containing the recommended set-up for your bicycle and a record of adjustments made to the bike and your shoes and any component changes. You will also receive advice on posture if needed and strength and conditioning guidance. If you are looking for a new bike we can provide you with solutions from Trek and our custom brands to suit your position and riding style.
